Berko İlaç Ve Ki̇mya San Aş Listed by qilin Ransomware Group

On May 22, 2025, Turkish pharmaceutical manufacturer Berko İlaç Ve Kimya San Aş appeared on the leak site of the qilin ransomware group. The listing indicates that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack, although the exact number of people whose personal information may be exposed remains unknown.

Reported Details from Reports

Public reporting indicates the company, founded by pharmacist Berat Beran, was listed on the qilin leak portal with samples of stolen data. The breach involves internal files exfiltrated after the ransomware operators gained access to the company’s systems. No confirmed total of affected records has been published, and the precise data elements inside the leaked files have not been fully detailed in available reporting. The incident follows the group’s typical pattern of encrypting victim networks, exfiltrating information, and then publishing samples when ransom demands are not met.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a manufacturer that produces medicines and health-related products suffers a breach, the exposed internal files can contain supplier lists, employee records, customer information, or partner contracts. Any of those records may include names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts, or national identification details that belong to ordinary people like you. Once that information reaches a public leak site, it can be downloaded by identity thieves, fraudsters, or harassers within hours. Your family’s privacy is directly at risk even if you have never purchased directly from Berko İlaç, because shared business networks and third-party vendors often link back to personal data.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk

Credential leaks and internal documents rarely stop at one company. A single email address or phone number taken from this claimed breach can be cross-referenced with data from earlier incidents to build a complete identity chain. Attackers link your work email to personal accounts, then to social-media handles, children’s gaming usernames, and home addresses. This chain turns a corporate ransomware incident into targeted doxxing, account takeovers, or extortion attempts against you or your children. Gaming accounts are especially vulnerable because kids often reuse passwords or email addresses that appear in adult-oriented business leaks like this one.

Qilin’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the attack to the qilin ransomware group, which emerged in 2022. The group has targeted organizations across healthcare, manufacturing, education, and technology sectors. Notable prior victims include a range of mid-sized companies whose data appeared on the same leak site after ransom negotiations failed. Qilin’s typical playbook involves initial access through phishing or exploited remote desktop services, followed by extensive exfiltration of internal files, deployment of ransomware to encrypt systems, and a double-extortion approach that combines encryption with the threat of publishing sensitive data. The group usually sets short deadlines for payment before releasing samples or full datasets.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, handles, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what this claimed breach exposes about you.
• Rotate any password you used at Berko İlaç or any related vendor account, then enable 2FA through an authenticator app instead of text messages.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next time your information surfaces you learn within hours rather than months.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that includes dependents and your children’s gaming accounts, which frequently chain back to the same addresses and emails leaked in incidents like this.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and leak sites so you do not have to negotiate or chase them yourself.
